Lightbulb This is the simplest option to upgrade Windows 11 on unsupported hardware
Posted by: harlan4096 - 18 January 25, 11:17 - Forum: Tips and tricks - No Replies

Quote:Several methods exist to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware and to upgrade to a new version of Windows 11 from older versions.

Microsoft allows this on one hand, but says it does not offer any kind of support, if the PC does not meet the system requirements.

Manual methods are available, but programs like Rufus have made the entire process better by automating most of it. Still, changes may block certain options that worked before.

I reviewed the open source application Flyby11 last October. The program supported two methods to install the latest version of Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. It was easy to use and worked well during tests.

The developer of the program has released a new version that makes things even simpler. All it takes now is to drag & drop a Windows 11 ISO image on the drop area in the program interface. Everything else is taken care of by the program.

Probably the biggest hindrance for many users at this point is the Windows 11 ISO. That's why Flyby11 links to Microsoft's official download website.

You may also use Rufus for that or any other program or services that offers the latest Windows 11 ISO image. As far as the Microsoft option is concerned, here is its link.

Once you have downloaded the ISO file, drag and drop it on the program interface. The application starts an inPlace upgrade right away at this point.

In 2024, AV-Comparatives subjected 16 consumer security products for Windows to rigorous evaluation.

The tested products in AV-Comparatives Consumer Main-Test Series 2024 were Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, ESET, F-Secure, G Data, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Norton, Panda, Quick Heal, TotalAV, Total Defense, and Trend Micro.

Fourteen of the products from the 16 vendors tested earned the prestigious AV-Comparatives 2024 Approved Windows Security Products certification, showcasing their commitment to delivering high-quality security solutions.

AV-Comparatives awards ESET with the Product of the Year Award 2024. Avast, AVG, Bitdefender and Kaspersky win Top-Rated Awards 2024.

Information NVIDIA official GeForce RTX 50 vs. RTX 40 benchmarks: 15% to 33% performance uplift w
Posted by: harlan4096 - 16 January 25, 10:20 - Forum: Hardware News - Replies (1)

Quote:NVIDIA shows more RTX 50 performance figures

The next-generation GPU architecture explained a bit more. 

[Image: 5080-HERO-1200x624.jpg]

NVIDIA has disclosed new performance figures for the RTX 50 series, including non-DLSS benchmarks. Unfortunately, those looking for non-ray tracing, pure raster performance data will have to wait until RTX 5090 reviews are released on the 24th.

NVIDIA has shared benchmarks for the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 in two games that may be of gamers interest for comparison.

These benchmarks include two titles: Resident Evil 4 (with ray tracing but without DLSS) and Horizon Forbidden West (without ray tracing, using DLSS Super Resolution but not DLSS (M)FG).

Information AMD quietly launches Ryzen 5 7400F globally: 6 cores up to 4.7 GHz and 65W
Posted by: harlan4096 - 16 January 25, 10:18 - Forum: Hardware News - No Replies

Quote:AMD has new 6-core CPU and it will launch globally

The slowest AM4 processor on Raphael die. 


[Image: AMD-RYZEN-HERO-1200x624.jpg]

The Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU with a boost clock lower than its older sibling, the 7500F. The latter was released last year, but its availability depends on the seller. Officially, that SKU is not globally available; however, OEMs and system integrators, who are allowed to purchase these CPUs, often sell them regardless of AMD’s intentions. As a result, the 7500F can be found at stores like Newegg for around $163.

Naturally, whatever comes after this SKU and offers lower specifications should be cheaper. Therefore, the 7400F might be AMD’s $150 CPU. AMD has confirmed that this is a Raphael die and not a mobile APU rebranded for desktops, meaning its gaming performance should still surpass that of such solutions. Officially, AMD is yet to confirm pricing.

Information Google Chrome 132 update fixes 16 unique security issues
Posted by: harlan4096 - 16 January 25, 10:17 - Forum: Browsers News & Tips - No Replies

Quote:Google released a new security update for its Chrome web browser that patches 16 unique security issues in the browser. Several of the vulnerabilities affect other Chromium-based web browsers as well, including Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, or Opera.

The point update for Google Chrome brings the desktop version to 132.0.6834.83 and 132.0.6834.84 for all supported operating systems. The update itself is available for Chrome on Windows, Linux, Mac, ChromeOS, and Android.

16 unique security vulnerabilities fixed

[Image: google-chrome-132-security-update.png]

Google reveals that it has fixed 16 security issues in the new update. The official release notes lists only publicly reported issues. These have a severity rating of high or lower only. Vulnerabilities were fixed in several components of the browser, including its JavaScript engine, Extensions, or navigation.

Google makes no mention of exploits in the wild, which is reassuring.

Chrome users may want to upgrade the browser as soon as possible to block potential attacks. On desktop, the easiest option to do that is the following:
  1. Open Menu.
  2. Select Help > About Google Chrome.
